11 months

We are almost there! I can't believe it! Whit is getting so big. He is so much fun right now. Our little shy boy just laughs and is happy most of the time. He is such a good baby and i am very thankful for that. he plays well by himself and easily entertains himself. he is getting closer to walking and will stand for longer periods of time by himself. i know one day he is just going to pop up! yesterday he went from sitting to standing 2 times! i feel like he is starting to look more like a toddler than a little baby. i just love watching him grow and his personality evolve! he is like his daddy in a lot of ways but is definitely more calm than nate was when he was little. i just see nate so much but maybe its just bc he is such a little boy.
he loves to push everything. anything he can find he pushes. the dining room chairs, the laundry basket, the stool, ANYTHING. its so funny. he still loves dogs, watching the washing machine go, being outside, playing peek a boo, and drinking milk.
while on the subject of milk he does drink all whole milk now. he loves it! we are still not liking sippy cups. i have bought every kind known to man and he does not like them. so we are still working on that. in the area of food we are not doing so hot. he hates all vegetables and will not try any new foods i put on his plate. he loves fruits though. he loves mandrin oranges, pears, apples and bananas. he likes cheese but only the white kind. no chedder :) i have tried to give him so many new things to try and its not working! i do not know what to do. so therefore we still eat baby food bc i feel like he needs the nutrients from veggies. its driving me crazy though bc i am ready to be done with baby food! what do i do? He also has finally gotten more teeth! He now has 8!
he makes a lot of noise but we are no where close to saying words. EVERYTHING is guh. it can be just guh or it can be guh, guh, guh. but seriously that is the only thing he says. no dada or mama anywhere close. maybe one day we will say something else!
he is a precious mess and we laugh at him a lot. he provides cheap and easy entertainment whereever we go!

he weighs about 23.5 lbs



Early Birthday Present

We decided to go ahead and give Whit his birthday present early. A red wagon! We wanted to be able to enjoy the weather before it turned too cold! He loves it so much. He wants to ride all the time. His daddy loves to take him in it. They go for miles in the wagon. I am so glad we went ahead and gave it to him bc we sure are enjoying it!


please ignore his crazy hair in this pic :)



this picture makes me so happy!



Happy Fall!!

We celebrated the start to fall with pumpkins! Whits school has a fundraiser for the ELC selling pumpkins. I was volunteering on Saturday and convinced Nate to bring Whit so we could take pictures in the pumpkin patch. If you need pumpkins they have the best! They have the pretty Cinderella ones, white ones and plain orange ones. They are so cheap too!! So please go buy your pumpkins at the patch! Precious place for pictures too.



Weekend at the Farm

We went to the farm this weekend with Nate's extended family. It was so much fun! It is so hard to get everyone together so we enjoyed spending time with his cousins, grandmother, aunt and uncle! Whit was great all weekend. Its just always iffy when you are away from his normal but he played hard and slept great at night! His favorite thing the whole weekend was riding the mule and once he figured it out that was all he wanted to do. He would say guh guh guh = go go go! He also loved being with all the dogs. Like  I have said dog is the only thing he recognizes and puts a name with. So we talked to the "guh" a lot!! Maybe one day he will put dada with nate and mama with me but for now we like the dog :) Aunt Mae Mae gave us our overalls for Christmas last year and they were perfect! We will be getting the next size as soon as we can bc nothing else would have worked for playing like we did! Thank you Mae Mae!! We love the farm so much and I am always thankful for a restful weekend there!!

10 Months

Today is a good day bc whit is 10 months and its also daddys birthday!! we love nate so much and he is such a good daddy to whit so Happy Birthday to Nate!
We are almost at a year now. Crazy! I feel like there are not a lot of changes between the months now but I know it is just because I am so used to him. I do not think he will be walking soon. He is great at pushing toys but he is just still a little un balanced so we probably have a few more months. We are still working on real food. It is not going very well. He loves mandrin oranges though! I also buy the fruit cup with apple cubes with no sugar added and he eats them up! We struggle with veggies though :( Some days he loves peas but the next he hates them. I am just praying it will kinda happen on its own. We are also working on whole milk. He hates it! I am really surprised bc I have not had an issue ever with him on switching from breast milk to formula and he could care less what brand of formula. We will keep working though!
He is doing so much better at school so I am happy about that! He doesn't cry as much and he is getting to be a better friend :)
His sounds are getting more distinct which I love. I feel like sometimes he can understand me!! His new favorite is the  "g" sound.
He loves bath time, his "dog" book, his blankie, swinging, pushing anything on the ground, Wheel of Fortune, crawling on our bed, the washer and dryer, and loves when mommy and daddy are both at home!!
Oh Whit man you bring such joy to our lives and we love that you make us laugh every day!!!
Seriously I cannot get him to sit still to take pictures. It is hilarious! Last night when I was taking the pictures he was belly laughing playing with the elephant jumping up and down on the chair. So I guess it will do just to remember how hard it was to get him to take a picture. how do you people do it!!!!

Laughing so hard bc he gets to jump up and down!

thinking it is hilarious to fall

we moved to the floor to avoid a tumble

And we are done with pictures...



Weekend Again

Well I am back with picture from teh weekend. This is the only time we do anything so I guess thats why these are the only pictures i have! Auburn game at Hunter and Brits was so fun. Seriously Auburn is going to give me a heart attack! Then we went to play with HK! Sunday Whit got to play with his daddy alll day long while I went to Oxford to see Mae Mae and Kitty! It was so fun and I am grateful that Nate kept Whit for me!

He looks so old here!

Hannie and "it" love each other so much. I love seeing them together!

Whit wants to know why she is wearing Crimson?!



Weekend Recap

Well we had a very uneventful Labor Day weekend but it was nice to have nothing on the agenda! It was also nice that we had rain bc that meant daddy could not play golf :) We watched football all day on Saturday at the Walker house! Thankfully the Tigers pulled it out! Then Sunday and Monday we just played. Nothing to do in the rain! I am thankful for the rain and the cooler weather it brought! Here are some pictures to recap the weekend.

Ready for the game!

Just watching the rain

Lots of Daddy time!
